- Does anyone out there use non-Apple monitors? (I guess this mainly means
- multisyncs.) I use a ViewSonic 5E. It's got a .28 dot pitch, 14", Trinitron
- tube and the colors and sharpness are great (besides that glitch that all
- Trinitron monitors show when you turn the contrast way up. Why does that
- happen?). What's more, it cost me 1/2 the price of an Apple 13" RGB. I've
- compared the screen with my rommate's Apple 13" and I've found the only
- difference is that the Apple monitor's contrast adjustment gives Slightly
- better results.
- What I'm getting at is: have other people found multisync monitors to be
- comparable to Apple's monitors? If so why don't more people buy third party
- monitors (as they happen to be cheaper)? Almost everyone I know has an Apple
- monitor.
- Incidentally, I'm running my monitor off a Micron Xceed30 8-bit card in an
- SE-30.
